"The situation has become even more serious, and the Grand Arcanists are worried because of the many strange reactions occurring in the magical chaos.

"Many people chose to leave this country and began to flee to human countries in the west and north. Even though the upper management punished this behavior severely, they still could not stop this trend.

"Your Excellency Cassio took his floating city west to the ruins of Ellaska and established a new human country with the name of this ancient country.

“He used his magic power to make the entire city rise from the ground, but before the city was completed, news came that he had passed away and passed away.

"His funeral memorial service only maintained dignity for one day and ended early.

"The people who stayed, including me, continued to study and find the weaknesses of the phaerinn.

"Some days ago, the higher-ups claimed that we have a powerful foreign aid. They are a race called Saren spirits.

"Perhaps their appearance has indeed played a certain role in curbing the Phayling Demon Sunflower.

“But what worries me is that every time the saron spirits encounter the phaerim, their mutual attack spells collide and begin to change the nearby landscape on a large scale.

"The rolling mountains turned into rolling hills, and the desert became increasingly vast.

"Ah, if this continues, even if we win this war, how will we survive in this desert?

"To be honest, I am very worried about the future of my two children, because the shadow of destruction has been slowly approaching and never stopped.

"I also thought about fleeing the country with my family, but my wife didn't agree.

"Because we are all vassals of His Highness Sigrid Chateau, and she was the maid of His Highness Sigrid Chateau when she was young.

"For us to escape at this time is tantamount to betrayal!

“Hey, but if you don’t run away, are you going to die?

"Didn't you see that even the once greatest His Majesty Iolum fled?

"We are afraid that we won't be able to win this time. After all, even His Majesty Karsus is helpless.

"I remember that since childhood, the word Felin Mo Kui has always been a childhood shadow that makes children stop crying.

"As early as a hundred years ago, that is, starting from the year 3398 of Nether, the phaerinn demons began to run rampant in the surface world with their [magic absorption].

"This eternal effect [Magic Absorption] can also absorb the essence of life. Any creature that enters its spherical scope will be slowly squeezed into a mummy. The Phaeling Demon Sunflower releases this magic everywhere in the Netheril Empire.

A powerful spell.

"Since that year, the land around the major floating cities in Netheril has become increasingly deserted.

"But at first, this situation did not attract the attention of the Grand Masters, and they just moved the floating city to another place.

"When they realized that these "plagues of the land" seemed to be following the city, the Grand Masters really felt that something was wrong.

"But as these cities moved here and there, they really "led" the Felin Demon Kui to complete a desertification movement.

"The result was the great desert now known as Analok.

"The plague is raging, but the arcanists have been unable to come up with a good way to deal with Feilin Mokui.

"Sometimes, some powerful Grand Masters will create more amazingly powerful magic, but at this time they will often encounter the phaerim, a creature that only wants to destroy Netheril, and launch a series of attacks.

Raid.

"The Phaelings rarely leave alive, and through their magic, they block most communication links between prophecy, induction magic and personal terminals.

"This has almost cut off people's contact, and it is difficult for them to even judge whether a certain Grand Master is still alive.

"Of course, this also prevented news about the progress of the war from being disseminated in a timely manner.

"The dual power of [Magic Absorption] caused the ineffectiveness of quasi-magic items in the floating city.

"Moreover, any magic that is not permanently injected into an item under the environment of magic constancy, its power will tend to be ineffective or even negative under this influence.

"[Eolum's Life Extension Spell] is another type of magic that frequently fails and causes the caster's lifespan to decrease rapidly.

"I often can't figure out why a creature like the phaerinn that suddenly appeared in the world has to go against Netheril at every turn.

"Is it true that they are actually creations of gods, as some great arcane masters say in private?

"Is this a conspiracy from the gods?

"To punish the Netherese for their disrespect of the gods?

"But I guess even the gods can't understand us.

"We Netherese people may not believe in God, but that doesn't mean we don't have faith."

Seeing this, Li Wei frowned.

'A conspiracy of the gods?'

This isn't the first time he's seen similar conspiracy theories.

In fact, even in the books written by some modern Netherese researchers, including the knowledge inherited by the dragon clan, there are many similar conspiracy theories about the destruction of Netheril.

But Li Wei felt that the truth might not be that simple.

If the Netherese Empire doesn't believe in gods, then who has the biggest loss?

Naturally, it is the goddess of magic, Mythril.

But it can be seen from the teacher of Karsus that the first generation of magic goddess was not such a small-minded god.

Even, she doesn't care too much about the world's opinions and beliefs about her.

Risme once tactfully proposed that Karsus return to the church with her, but after Karsus politely declined once, the gentle and somewhat naughty mentor never mentioned anything like this again.

This did not even cause any estrangement, and in the following years, he still imparted his magical knowledge to each other.

It can be said that the reason why Karsus was able to surpass Iolum and become the most powerful great arcanist in the world.

His first teacher made a huge contribution.

She opened a door to the origin of magic for the still young Karsus, but she did not constrain his thinking.

Let him use arcana as another way to further explore and analyze the origin of magic using scientific and rigorous means.

But in the end, this also led to another tragedy.

Li Wei took a deep breath and continued to read the researcher's diary, hoping to find some clues that might be useful to him.

"Damn! I received a temporary transfer order!

"Her Highness Sigrid's husband was appointed by His Majesty Karsus as the captain of the Icarus and was ordered to carry out a secret mission in the star realm.

"Her Highness Sigrid will also be accompanying her, and as her vassal, I naturally have no shirking responsibility.

"But why, Her Highness Sigrid can go with her husband, but I have to leave my wife and children behind. Is this the difference between commoners and nobles?

"Yes! For some reason, from that day when His Majesty Karsus suddenly arrived at His Highness Sigrid's residence, and when I saw his deep and indifferent eyes, I had a premonition of his desperate plan. He seemed to have prepared something.

As a backup plan, I plan to solve the serious problem of Felin Demon Kui in one fell swoop!

“But I don’t know why, but I felt intensely uneasy.

"But fate does not depend on the will of a little person like me.

"Like many confused demon researchers, I only had time to say goodbye to my wife and children in a hurry before I was packed into the Icarus, which was bound for an unknown destination."

Nether June 21, 3520

"I have to admit that life on the ship is not that bad. Perhaps it is because the communications between the planes are intermittent. As researchers accompanying the ship, we are almost cut off from communication with the main material plane.

"But maybe it can be considered a benefit? That is, there is no pressure from the bad situation that is getting worse every day, and the mental pressure is not so great, except for missing my dear wife and children.

"It is worth mentioning that our secret mission went extremely smoothly.

"This so-called secret mission was actually just dragging a giant floating island out from the depths of the star realm, without encountering any setbacks along the way.

“Oh, we have encountered one before. A group of githyanki who didn’t know how to live or die tried to rob us, and then they were killed by the captain who showed off his power without letting a single one of them escape.

"It was also that time that I realized that our captain is so powerful and he is indeed the man Sigrid values.

"It's just that His Majesty Xia Duomian was not optimistic about this marriage at first. He seemed to think that the captain was too old? He even scolded him for being shameless. As a junior fellow student under Karsus, he actually got his daughter by eating grass from the side of the nest.

On the head!

"However, Your Highness Sigrid is deeply in love. Your Majesty Xia Duo only agreed to the marriage, but she has been putting off the wedding.

"It's just that I'm curious about what the floating island is.

"It is said that these solid islands did not originally exist in the star realm. Most of them were transformed by the death of gods forgotten by faith.

"So it is a fallen god's body?
